Sarah J H Powell, author and spooky thrillseeker behind the podcast The Whispering Woods, curates a collection of twenty-one creepy creatures, ghastly ghosts, and paranormal phenomena, including:

  • El Silbón: A legendary figure in the countries of Colombia and Venezuela and known for his eerie whistle. Why is it that whistling at night is such a taboo?
  • The Baubas: An example in a long line of creepy bogeymen intended to scare children into correcting their bad behavior.
  • Werewolves: These creatures appear everywhere, from ancient Mesopotomia to Viking-era Scandinavia.
